To help reduce tarnishing and scratching, we recommend following these simple yet effective guidelines for storing your Alvin Gems Jewellery:

Selecting an appropriate storage location is crucial. Aim for a dark, cool, and dry place to keep your Jewellery. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight or areas with excessive humidity, as these conditions can accelerate tarnishing.
5. Faulty Product? Here’s What We Can Do

5.1 Refund
If the product is deemed faulty and within the 30-day guarantee period, we can offer you a refund. This ensures that you are not left dissatisfied with your purchase and allows you to explore alternative options.

Another solution we provide is the option to exchange the faulty item for a replacement. This way, you can still enjoy the product you desired without any inconvenience.
